Well, admittedly, this is minor and perhaps even questionable, but it is thematically in the right vein. We all know the old TV series Lost In Space, a lot of episodes of which you can now get on DVD. Well, if you take a look at Season 3 Volume 1, you will find an episode called "The Space Primevals" (aired in 1966?) which has a bunch of technologically-advanced cavemen living at the base of a volcano on some other planet. They're basically savages but with space-age devices and a supercomputer that tells them what to do. Anyway, all around their encampment they've got these carvings that are basically tikis--they look like they were built quick and dirty (like a lot of stuff on TV) and some of the faces are a little TOO goofy, but these weird carvings appear to be basically tiki-inspired! The episode doesn't revolve around the carvings, which are just "there," but I thought the completists would want to know..... |
